Priceless

July 4th, 2008
Priceless is a romantic comedy juxtaposed against one of the worlds most romantic backdrops, the south of France. In a luxury hotel a bartender named Jean (Gad Elmaleh) is mistaken in his tuxedo for a man of means by Irene (Audrey Tautou who has definitely shaken off any De Vinci Code Dowdiness).

Jaime King (Goldie in Sin City) plays Sarah who is married to Jason (Edmonton's Terry Chen ...
